New Zealand's perennial richest person, Graeme Hart amassed a packaging empire using leveraged buyouts. Hart's holdings make everyday products like milk cartons, water bottles, paper and aluminum foil. In April 2025 he sold his 77 percent stake in publicly-listed packaging company, Pactiv Evergreen, to North Carolina-based packaging major, Novolex, for $2.5 billion. In 2023, he took delivery of a 102-meter superyacht fitted out with a hangar, helipad and glass stairways, among much else.
